I am not going humor you. I have provided basic things that can be looked at without even getting controversial like mass layoffs or crazy cuts. If you really look for cost reductions, they are always found, everywhere and from everyone! This isn't hard to do. I am sure you have done it in your own finances in your life. If citizens are not suppose to notice a 3% tax increase for improve services, would we really miss a 2% reduction on costs and services?
Balance sheet strength matters no matter what. City leaders are telling us that Calgary's budget is in trouble. We should probably listen when we can or else you get into a situation like Toronto or other cities that are beyond a crisis.
